We've had our eyes on Klirre for a while now. They are prolific in both their music and art output, creating a whole ecosphere around an extraterrestrial protagonist. This EP is no different as we are taken through a host of different emotions from track to track. The overall feeling is of a day, a week, a month, or a year in the life of our hero.

This release is also the first time that we have experimented with risograph printing (more to come in the future!) and we are very glad to have kicked things off with Klirre.

Enjoy!

CheapBeats is a great chip label. Based in Tokyo, too.

Releasing Run! Run! Jump! Punch! was perhaps the easiest decision I have made in my life. These guys ooze class, quality and style. I am incredibly grateful to have them on CheapBeats. You may recognise the synth and drums programmer Boris from his solo project "Grizzly Cogs" which we have also had the pleasure of releasing. This full-on, full band experience will leave you gasping and panting for more. Slick chords, soaring melodies and just a pinch of vocal bliss.

The band also have a ton of fantastic merch on offer, so if this is your first experience of RRJP, go all in and support this amazing outfit heart

Enjoy

10 years, 8 releases. It has been a wild ride up to this point. After several experiments of new musical directions, KERNKOMPETENZ represents a somewhat "back to the roots" approach. 7 tracks of what I'm best at - fast, dramatic and supermelodic GameBoy techno! Thanks to everyone, who, even after all this time, still finds something worthwhile in my music!

All tracks were written, recorded and mixed via Nanoloop 1.7 on Nintendo Gameboy Classic.

Thanks to: Yorkie, Mario, Vegard, Marie, Keno, Alex, Nada, Fati, Shortee, Anders and all the other great people associated with Chiptune!

Aethernaut is back with another wonderfully uplifting Vocaloid single. Check out that riff designed to stick. Tokyo Elvis picks up remix duty with staccato vocal harmonies and sparse, delightfully crispy percussion.

Featuring exquisite artwork from CheapBeats family member: The Chunderfins.

Wool Pool was introduced to us by CB family member scythe, and we're so glad he did! Our original mission for CheapBeats was to act as a platform for introducing the world of chiptune to Japan and Japanese chiptuners to the world. With this charming release from Wool Pool we're right back on track, bringing you some of Japan's finest talent!

We're honoured to finally get a CheapBeats debut from don'tblinkoryou'lldie. And what a great way to start 2019! Nathan is a very close friend of mine in the chip scene. Hanging out at #SST2016 and then having him perform at #SST2017, we have been on numerous adventures in Japan, including the world's largest Buddha (tacky as it is...). Anyway, enough of that personal stuff! Check out this incredible release!!

If you are lucky enough to be heading to MAGFest 2019, make sure to catch don'tblinkoryou'lldie live: super.magfest.org/musical-guests/dontblinkoryoulldie

An album about the dangers of nostalgia!

We are absolutely thrilled to have a full album release from The Chunderfins...! It's been a dream of ours for a long time, and it's finally here.

Incredibly well produced, polished, and perfected tracks like only The Chunderfins can do. heart

This album comes with two bonus tracks that can only be heard when you buy. So get on it, and show these guys some love.

Yay, it's finally here! I've felt like venturing a bit into the more danceable BPM's for a while and I'm really proud to present this EP right now, hope you like it as much as I do!

Big thanks to Dunderpatrullen for both working with me on the Hejdå Pappa remix and being awesome friends in general.

Also, I'd like to send some shout-outs to Irina, Kilohearts (Thanks for always listening, Anders!), Cheapshot (you're doing one hell of a job, Yorkie!), Meganeko, Robotprins and all the other awesome people I have the luxury of interacting with.

We are incredibly proud to bring you Tuberz McGee's follow up to the epic (and a hell of a mouthful) "Tuberz McGee and the Mildly Inappropriate Dinner Conversations with the Highly Probable In-Laws." This album sees Tuberz stay off the mic and focus all of his energy on making huge tunes. Huge tunes that you can see how were made (apart from the guitar parts of course....!). Yep, that's right, for purchasers of this album, you will get:

[BONUS] All SAV data! [BONUS]

-- Cheapshot

This album is a testament to years of work and improvement. My skills as a musician have improved tenfold and it's because of what I have learned from others. This album is intended to be a launching off point for others when they are wanting to learn, which is why I have included all of the save files for the album. Enjoy listening through my progression~!

Thanks: Cheapshot, cTrix, and anyone who ever told me something sounded good or didn't sound good enough. You've all pushed me in your own way.

In the year 2011 Jredd, Groovemaster303, and CosmoBG released a landmark compilation of original Sega Genesis/Megadrive music that tested the limits of what the YM2612 chip could do and remains a landmark album in the chiptune scene.

It's been six long years since that initial release. But now FM Possible is finally back, better than ever and ready for release on the Cheapbeats label! FM Possible 2 features the talents of CosmoBG, Jredd, Groovemaster303, Dya, Game Genie Sokolov, Th4 D34d, Laz and special guest Drexegar using a variety of FM chips from the Sega Genesis/Megadrive (YM2612), Sega Arcade (YM2151) and more. Gear up and get ready for a wild chiptune ride!
